Basically the iPhone is a name brand with great quality. Anyone can buy an android cause the quality is sub par. Not everyone can get an iPhone. Why would a celeb drive a Kia when they can drive a Beamer?
Why do celebs only use blackberrys and iphones

Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.
The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program.
For some phones, there could be almost a year's worth of data stored, as the recording of data seems to have started with Apple's iOS 4 update to the phone's operating system, released in June 2010.
"Apple has made it possible for almost anybody – a jealous spouse, a private detective – with access to your phone or computer to get detailed information about where you've been," said Pete Warden, one of the researchers.
Only the iPhone records the user's location in this way, say Warden and Alasdair Allan, the data scientists who discovered the file and are presenting their findings at the Where 2.0 conference in San Francisco on Wednesday. "Alasdair has looked for similar tracking code in [Google's] Android phones and couldn't find any," said Warden. "We haven't come across any instances of other phone manufacturers doing this."
Simon Davies, director of the pressure group Privacy International, said: "This is a worrying discovery. Location is one of the most sensitive elements in anyone's life – just think where people go in the evening. The existence of that data creates a real threat to privacy. The absence of notice to users or any control option can only stem from an ignorance about privacy at the design stage."
Warden and Allan point out that the file is moved onto new devices when an old one is replaced: "Apple might have new features in mind that require a history of your location, but that's our specualtion. The fact that [the file] is transferred across [to a new iPhone or iPad] when you migrate is evidence that the data-gathering isn't accidental." But they said it does not seem to be transmitted to Apple itself.

Anyone can buy an Android? I've yet to see ANYONE here bragging about having an Galaxy S 2 and 3, Note, Rezound, and a One X at the same time.
LOL@that ridiculous analogy at the end..that Iphone shyt is for little girls. Small ass screen with a good camera and Itunes. That's a W alright
Android is the one with the BEST phone in the world today and everyone here knows it. On the outside? They don't. They just buy what they know without proper research. Limitations. Weakness. A female mindset if you will.

the tax id, and write off they get for those phones is why they have them.
when you have a tax id,..a company like at&t will not let you get a regular consumer account. they will offer you a commercial account.
so they can pretty much rape you.....
blackberry and iphones are probably the best business package phone they offer.

Turn by turn navigation (google maps) voice control, a touch screen as opposed to those little ass buttons, and a great camera.You use an Android? What "extras" does it have that "handles everything" for you?
I'm curious because I've been a BB user for years, as it is my preference, but people keep saying Android is great because it has more apps. I'm just trying to figure out what these apps are because there has never been anything I wanted my BB to do that it couldn't do.
so what kind of phone do you have?Anyone can buy an Android? I've yet to see ANYONE here bragging about having an Galaxy S 2 and 3, Note, Rezound, and a One X at the same time.

Really? as someone who has owned all three I must say iPhone is the better product. Mainly because BB is limited, and android cant seem to get it right. Android has 1384447 variations of there phones and not one is as complete as iPhone. and do get me started on how much their apps "force close". 
throws SGS4G (galaxy s 4g) in the bushesYou have no idea what you are missing. Just test drive a high end android/iphone or windows phone and I bet you won't return it before the trial period.You use an Android? What "extras" does it have that "handles everything" for you?

I have Garmin on my phone for voice turn by turn and have google maps too. And it's a touchscreen. Camera? Meh, mine is fine. Not that important to me.
